This paper addresses the over-reliance on AI in writing, which has been shown to contribute to skill atrophy and reduced creativity [1]. Rather than attempting to replace human authors, this program aims to integrate AI and human writing in a responsible, slightly gamified writing support tool, built upon Unity and C#. The system consists of three main components - an AI controller, a task and progress checker, and a main text box where users can write and edit. Instead of generating full essays, the AI provides creative prompts which it can then check. The program encountered several challenges, including bugs, reliable AI validation, and prevention of user dependency, requiring further refinement. Experiments were conducted using twelve AI-generated essays to evaluate whether the system preferentially approves formally structured writing; acceptance rates and evaluation outcomes were analyzed to identify system behavior.
